Cutffl erland County,Pennsylvania,being ofsound and disposing mind,memory and understanding,
do make,publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making
void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
I
I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts,
funeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate as soon
after my death as is reasonably possible. However,my personal representative need not accelerate
and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his,her or its opinion, it might be proper and more
advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial
plot or a grave marker at the time of my death,I authorize my personal representative,in his,her or
its sole discretion,to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave,and to
expend sums from my estate for this purpose.
2
I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate together with all
insurance proceeds thereon of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate in equal shares to my
daughters,ANNMARIE KLEMS,of 3 Courtyard Drive,Borough of Carlisle,Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and MARY JEAN DANIELS, of 417 Belie Isle Avenue, Belleair Beach, Florida
33786 and my grandson,TODD M.STAMM,of 204 Delaware Circle,Avondale,Chester County,
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF JOSEPH J. YENCHICK
Pennsylvania, who survive me by sixty(60)days per stirpes. It is further my desire that my personal
representative; after consultation with any heir or heirs of mine who survive me,and in his,her or
its own discretion,choose such articles from my tangible personal property(exclusive of cash,stock
certificates,bonds,and all other tangible evidences of intangible personal property)as he,she or it
believes will be useful to such heir or heirs or desirable for him or her or them to have,either from
a sentimental point of view or otherwise,and to deliver such articles to such heir or heirs or among
such heirs in equal or unequal shares as determined by the further exercise of his, her or its
discretion,provided no other heir objects to the distribution. All tangible personal property not so
distributed is to be sold, either publicly or privately, by my personal representative, adding the
proceeds of such sale or sales to my residuary estate and to be disposed of in equal shares among my
surviving heirs after payment of my estate debts,taking into account the tangible personal property
otherwise provided to them.
3
I grant my personal representative the following powers in addition to and not in limitation
of such powers as my personal representative shall hold by law:
(a) To retain all property received including the stock of any corporate fiduciary acting
hereunder,provided such property remains productive.
(b) To join in any corporation, partnership, recapitalization, merger, reorganization or
voting trust plan, to delegate authority with respect thereto; to deposit investments
under agreements and pay assessments; and generally to exercise all rights of
investors, including but not limited to,the voting of shares.
(c) To manage,operate,repair,improve,mortgage or lease on any terms any real estate
held or owned by my estate.
(d) To operate any business that I may own at my death.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF JOSEPH J. YENCHICK
(e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities or
property, real or personal, without regard to the principle of diversification or any
other statute or general rule of law in his, her or its absolute discretion, it being my
intention to give my personal representative the broadest investment powers possible,
providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement ofmy
estate.
(f) To sell or otherwise dispose of any property,real or personal,tangible or intangible,
at any time forming a part of my estate in any manner and on such terms and
conditions as my personal representative shall see fit in his, her, or its absolute
discretion.
(g) To borrow money for the payment of taxes or for any other proper purposes in the
administration of my estate, and to mortgage or pledge estate assets as security.
(h) To compromise claims without court approval including, but not limited to, any
controversies with the United States of America or the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania concerning estate and inheritance taxes on any interests that may pass
under this my Last Will and Testament.
(i) To distribute in cash or in kind upon any division or distribution of my estate,
(j) To undertake any and all acts deemed necessary and proper by my personal
representative for the proper, advantageous and prompt management of the
settlement of my estate.
(k) In general, to exercise all powers in the management of my estate which any
individual could exercise in the management of similar property owned in his own
right, upon such terms and conditions as to him, her or it may seem best and to
execute and deliver all instruments and to do all acts which he, she or it deems
necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this, my Last Will and Testament.
